FirestoreAdmin

This API provides several administrative services for Cloud Firestore.

Concepts

Project, Database, Namespace, Collection, and Document are used as defined in the Google Cloud Firestore API.

Operation: An Operation represents work being performed in the background.

Services

Index

The index service manages Cloud Firestore indexes.

Index creation is performed asynchronously. An Operation resource is created for each such asynchronous operation. The state of the operation (including any errors encountered) may be queried via the Operation resource.

Metadata

Provides metadata and statistical information about data in Cloud Firestore. The data provided as part of this API may be stale.

Operation

The Operations collection provides a record of actions performed for the specified Project (including any Operations in progress). Operations are not created directly but through calls on other collections or resources.

An Operation that is not yet done may be cancelled. The request to cancel is asynchronous and the Operation may continue to run for some time after the request to cancel is made.

An Operation that is done may be deleted so that it is no longer listed as part of the Operation collection.

Operations are created by service FirestoreAdmin, but are accessed via service google.longrunning.Operations.

Creates the specified index. A newly created index's initial state is CREATING. On completion of the returned google.longrunning.Operation, the state will be READY. If the index already exists, the call will return an ALREADY_EXISTS status.

During creation, the process could result in an error, in which case the index will move to the ERROR state. The process can be recovered by fixing the data that caused the error, removing the index with delete, then re-creating the index with create.

Exports a copy of all or a subset of documents from Google Cloud Firestore to another storage system, such as Google Cloud Storage. Recent updates to documents may not be reflected in the export. The export occurs in the background and its progress can be monitored and managed via the Operation resource that is created. The output of an export may only be used once the associated operation is done. If an export operation is cancelled before completion it may leave partial data behind in Google Cloud Storage.

Imports documents into Google Cloud Firestore. Existing documents with the same name are overwritten. The import occurs in the background and its progress can be monitored and managed via the Operation resource that is created. If an ImportDocuments operation is cancelled, it is possible that a subset of the data has already been imported to Cloud Firestore.

ExportDocumentsRequest

Database to export. Should be of the form: projects/{project_id}/databases/{database_id}.

collection_ids[]

string

Which collection ids to export. Unspecified means all collections.

output_uri_prefix

string

The output URI. Currently only supports Google Cloud Storage URIs of the form: gs://BUCKET_NAME[/NAMESPACE_PATH], where BUCKET_NAME is the name of the Google Cloud Storage bucket and NAMESPACE_PATH is an optional Google Cloud Storage namespace path. When choosing a name, be sure to consider Google Cloud Storage naming guidelines: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/naming. If the URI is a bucket (without a namespace path), a prefix will be generated based on the start time.

State

The state of an index. During index creation, an index will be in the CREATING state. If the index is created successfully, it will transition to the READY state. If the index is not able to be created, it will transition to the ERROR state.

Enums

STATE_UNSPECIFIED

The state is unspecified.

CREATING

The index is being created. There is an active long-running operation for the index. The index is updated when writing a document. Some index data may exist.

READY

The index is ready to be used. The index is updated when writing a document. The index is fully populated from all stored documents it applies to.

ERROR

The index was being created, but something went wrong. There is no active long-running operation for the index, and the most recently finished long-running operation failed. The index is not updated when writing a document. Some index data may exist.

IndexField

A field of an index.

Fields

field_path

string

The path of the field. Must match the field path specification described by [google.firestore.v1beta1.Document.fields][fields]. Special field path __name__ may be used by itself or at the end of a path. __type__ may be used only at the end of path.
